Still no mention of The Good Place? Come on, io9!

People where angry and awful to McDonalds employees over something the employees had no control over, because they didn’t get a packet of a sauce they lived a couple decades without.

He’s the free market!

I can’t think of a single moment I’ve ever experienced in a theater that was as awesome- in the literal, ‘full of awe’ meaning of the word- as that silence. It was incredible. No one in the packed theater made a noise.

The Good Place belongs in the ten best. That’s just a fact.

Oh, god, it’s like an entirely different show. It’s so much fun.

Yeah, but in Rome, they gave it away to the people. We’ve got to pay for cable, dammit!

That moment was pretty amazing, especially being in a theater full of silent, stunned nerds, all marveling at it.

Except didn’t the Empire at least bother to give them bread and circuses to distract the lower classes? That would be shot down as entitlements nowadays.

I know! I’m waiting to find out where we fling the people after we’re out of manure.

Oh, and one corollary for good measure:

And I’d wager if he’s in the vet’s office, with his keyfob in his pocket as he claims, that would count as “Not in use”.

And it was deleted for a moment before being restored quickly.

That’s fair, though the Archie/Punisher thing actually happened in comics:

But that’ll just confused people when we finally get the Punisher/Riverdale cross-over we’re all waiting for!

My trick is putting my phone in a bowl to amplify the sound and leaving it sitting on the counter outside the shower, but hey, whatever works.

It’s not casual viewers who harass writers like this- or go out of their way to engage with other fans. That’s what the tweet is about.

Fandoms and viewer numbers aren’t the same thing, though. Lot of things that have strong fandoms, but don’t get the ratings to make them viable for the network. And things that get a lot of attention, but don’t have a real fandom.

Also, given that the conversation started with claims that Marvel is suffering in sales, you can’t really come in and say “Well, they’re still making sales, but they don’t matter, because...”

Yeah, the fanbase is a really big reason why I’ve never given it a shot. I love Community, but...
